# SpaceX-API

This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the [SpaceX-API](https://github.com/r-spacex/SpaceX-API) source connector.

## Prerequisites

No prerequisites, but a dummy api_key is required as it enhances security in future build. Please check the available routes at [SpaceX Routes](https://github.com/r-spacex/SpaceX-API/tree/master/routes).

## Setup guide
